Don’t Call It Affordable Housing: Lottery Opens for Pacific Park Tower in Prospect Heights

The latest tower to go up in the long-in-the-works Pacific Park (Atlantic Yards) mega-development is a market rate one on the corner of Pacific and 6th Avenue in Prospect Heights, once known as B5.

The latest tower to go up in the long-in-the-works Pacific Park (Atlantic Yards) mega-development is a market rate one on the corner of Pacific and 6th Avenue in Prospect Heights, once known as B5. The developer, The Brodsky Organization, has applied for a tax break under the state’s 421-a program and as a result, the building has income-targeted, rent-stabilized units whose lottery launched last week. Interestingly, Brodsky is not calling them “affordable” but rather “middle income.”

The 421-a program is set at an Area Median Income of 130 percent â€" slightly more than the median income for the greater New York region.
